Update:<\/b> According to final broadcast data, Thursday’s edition of “Grey’s Anatomy,” which aired in its old 9PM timeslot, drew a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating with 7.42 million viewers.<\/p>\n
The performance represents a welcome rebound from last week’s episode, which settled for a 1.9 with 6.64 million viewers. Both represented lows for the series.<\/p>\n
Also enough to fuel “Grey’s Anatomy” to a first place timeslot finish in the demo and second in viewership (behind CBS’ “Mom”\/”The Big Bang Theory” re-run tandem), the performance was not stellar in comparison to the historical “Grey’s” standard.<\/p>\n
It was not even strong in comparison to the reduced standard of the current season. The viewership mark was the third-lowest for a “Grey’s” episode this season.<\/p>\n
— ABC led into “Grey’s” with a rebroadcast of the show’s pilot episode. It drew a 1.1 with 4.66 million viewers.<\/p>\n
— It led out of “Grey’s” with an original edition of “American Crime.” The freshman drama drew a series low 0.9 rating with 4.40 million viewers.
\n=================<\/p>\n
Airing away from “The Big Bang Theory”–and in its old 9PM timeslot–Thursday’s “Grey’s Anatomy” enjoyed a rebound from last week’s series low ratings performance.<\/p>\n
It did not, however, deliver slam dunk numbers.<\/p>\n
Per fast national data, Thursday’s “Grey’s” scored a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating with 7.33 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Low in the historical context of the series, the numbers do comfortably best the low marks posted by the April 2 episode.<\/p>\n
That episode, which aired in the 8PM slot, scored a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating with 6.64 million viewers.<\/p>\n
However soft by historical “Grey’s” standards, the 2.1 demo rating was network television’s strongest during the 9-10PM hour. CBS’ tandem of “Mom” and a “Big Bang Theory” re-run averaged a 1.9, while NBC’s “The Blacklist” re-run (0.8), FOX’s “Backstrom” (0.8) and The CW’s “The Flash” re-run (0.3) were out of competitive the mix.<\/p>\n
Barring an upward adjustment in the final ratings report, this week’s viewership total will nonetheless represent the second-worst of the season.<\/p>\n
— While this week’s “Grey’s” effectively mirrored what “Scandal” drew in the timeslot last week (2.1, 7.27 million viewers), 10PM lead-out “American Crime” slipped to a series low this week. After scoring a 1.1 with 4.69 million viewers last week, it fell to a 0.9 with 4.42 million this week.<\/p>\n
— ABC led into the 9PM “Grey’s” original with an 8PM encore (1.1, 4.75 million).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[233,3767,176,76],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
